“Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, growth and making beautiful memories together. I can’t wait for everything God has in store for us. Forever sounds even sweeter with you”, she wrote.
The announcement quickly drew attention online, with reactions split between congratulatory comments and criticism, expressing different views about the engagement and also reflecting Nigeria’s broader social and legal climate around same-sex relationships, where such unions remain both criminalised and widely stigmatised.
Adaeze previously married to a man, Metu Anu, in a traditional wedding held in Abuja in February 2018, a union that later ended in divorce.
